Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold brewed coffee
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Place the cold brewed coffee, milk, rolled oats, frozen banana, vanilla protein powder, cocoa powder, and cinnamon into a high-speed blender.
- Blend: Blend all the ingredients on high speed for 60-120 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy with no visible lumps.
- Adjust consistency and sweetness: Taste the smoothie and add more milk if it’s too thick or add a sweetener of your choice if it’s not sweet enough, then blend briefly to mix.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a cup or mason jar and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture. Alternatively, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and shake or stir well before drinking.
Notes
- Using frozen banana helps create a creamy, chilled texture without adding ice.
- Rolled oats add fiber and help make the smoothie more filling.
- Adjust milk type to fit dietary preferences—dairy or plant-based milk both work well.
- Protein powder can be swapped or omitted based on dietary needs.
- For a sweeter smoothie, consider adding honey, maple syrup, or a sweetener of your choice.
- Consume the smoothie within 24 hours for optimal freshness and flavor.
